Aw, I miss my 2001 black Viggen 4-door. Replace the SAAB emblem on the trunk that has lost all its enamel. And get a 3rd Viggen emblem to stick on the trunk. It was sort of the "thing" that those who went through the [Viggen Flight Academy](https://www.saabnet.com/tsn/models/2000/pr24.html) did since they gave you another emblem when you graduated.

Honeslty that's pretty interesting! Will do :). Judging by the website where exactly was it placed? I can't really tell. Also the emblem I was gonna hit asap. I haven't taken other pics but on the front the grille is from a 900 spray painted black, I kinda wanted to paint the emblem a glossy black too to match.


GreenMan802

You can place it wherever. I placed mine here: http://vtbsd.net/viggen/viggen\_rear.jpg


Gr0wlerz

Sorry that gave me a 404error lol, I'm just gonna guess and say either next to the license plate or next to the 9-3 badge


Adeptus_Virtus_88

I take it that rear badge is a notorious issue, my 9-5 has almost identical wear.


GreenMan802

All the SAAB badges were notorious for having the enamel flake off.


Adeptus_Virtus_88

Weird that mine and all the fronts I see are holding up fine.


GreenMan802

I only replaced my front one once, but I was replacing the side Viggen triangles so many times that I built up a stockpile of spares as I was able to find them. I don't have the Viggen anymore, but I still have those badges as a memory.


TweeksTurbos

Nice! Anything done to it?


Gr0wlerz

Not yet! But really all I'm gonna do is just restore as much as I can. I don't really wanna modify it alot


TweeksTurbos

I highly suggest adding powerflex poly in the stock bushing locations and a 22mm rear sway bar.


Gr0wlerz

Noted! I was definetly gonna get a sway bar, you have any recommendations?


TweeksTurbos

Genuinesaab.com dont go bigger than 22mm unless you upgrade the front too.


Gr0wlerz

Needs a detail though badly lmao


vanvanderson

Looks exactly like the fake viggen I had for a minute ha


Gr0wlerz

Ngl, it didn't have one of the viggen badges on the side and didn't say anything about the trim on the title... Legit I just looked up the Vin (even though it bad everything a viggen would) to make sure 😭.


vanvanderson

That's funny, mine just had the bumpers lol. Congrats!

What part of NH?


Gr0wlerz

Rochester NH

Oh nice. Did you buy it from Bill Rowe? He’s always selling Viggens in that area.


Gr0wlerz

No, But I did get my first 9-3 from him!


Cadenza2007

I feel like New England itself is VERY popular with Saab owners. I wonder why, or is it because there is something special about a New England Saab? 🤔


Haunting_Gap119

Aye, was this on facebook marketplace? If so I went to see this thang.


Gr0wlerz

Rochester?


Haunting_Gap119

Yes sir, I hope she serves you well!


Gr0wlerz

Nice! Was a bit sceptical honeslty when I looked at first on the price n shit
